<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The questions kept coming because, through eight preseason games, nobody got an answer about how Allen Iverson and Chris Webber will coexist on the court. They kept coming because the pairing of two superstars didn't have the effect that the 76ers had hoped for in the 21 regular season and five playoff games following the trade for Webber from Sacramento last season. Webber clearly struggled after the trade, whether it was because of the system of previous coach Jim O'Brien, trouble from his surgically repaired knee, or because Iverson didn't get him the ball often enough. Maybe it was all of the above. The questions kept coming because, through the previous nine seasons of Iverson's NBA career, the 76ers have tried to bring in so-called second scorers to ease the burden on him, only to see it not work out. Yet Iverson remains defiant, even though the way he and Webber answer it on the court will determine the Sixers' success this season, which begins Tuesday against Milwaukee. "It's only an issue because Chris is a superstar and he has done so many things as far as his credentials," Iverson said. "Only time is going to tell. I can sit here and say we'll do great together, but if Chris has some bad games, people are going to say it's because of me. If I have some bad games, people are going to say it's because I can't mesh with Chris.</div> <div align="center">Source</div> <font color=""Red""><font size=""1"">- Do NOT POST articles in entirety.
